Attached are some photos of Clayton Boyer's Steampunk Impulse engine.
The .dxf files were purchased from Clayton Boyer's website
The following link will show you one in operation:
I just finished assembling mine and have some "fine tuning" to get it fully operational. I think I have too much drag on some of the components which don't allow it to run continuously.
For those of you who like gears & things
